NC CPA Foundation Community College Scholarship, with an application deadline in October, offers numerous awards of $1500 each. Location restrictions exist. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

The NC CPA Foundation Community College Scholarship will be awarded to students enrolled in community colleges who are pursuing a two-year associate degree with the intent to enroll in a four-year program and have the potential to become a CPA. All applicants must be NCACPA members to apply for a scholarship. Prior award winners are eligible to apply. The foundation encourages applications from students who are future CPAs and who have strong interpersonal skills, are technologically adept, highly disciplined, and equally productive whether working alone or in collaboration. Additional factors such as financial need, background and experiences will be considered as well. Applicants must provide a reference of someone who knows them well, for example, a faculty member, a supervisor, and/or CPA. The applicant's reference should be able to speak to their academic performance, leadership potential, involvement in activities beyond the classroom, and commitment to becoming a CPA. Relatives or peers may not serve as references. Applicants must also answer essay questions. If they prefer, applicants also have the option to upload a recording (voice only) of their response. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the NC CPA Foundation for more information.
